Rocksteady is hoping to raise the bar even higher on what will be its final Arkham game. Set after the events of Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Knight may just end the Dark Knight's journey.

As you've probably guessed from the cover imagery, the Batmobile is finally a core element of the gameplay. An entirely new area of Gotham City, far larger than Arkham City, has much wider streets to accommodate the new driving gameplay that is designed to integrate smoothly with Batman's gliding and grappling traversal. Batman chases down super villains Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, and more.

Arkham Knight will release later this year on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Meh. The first two were great because they had an incredible story which was written by an actual comic writer, Paul Dini who they essentially let go after Arkham City. The last one they did was meh and no surprise here, the trailer features what? Batman punching bad guys and riding around in the batmobile.. no story element to be found.

I also hate how the horrible the bat suit looks. I thought they got it just about perfect in Arkham Origins (less uber clunky armor, shorter, more traditional ears) but this is like three steps back.

The last game wasn't done by the studio that did the first two (rocksteady). It was a licensed game done by WB Montreal. While I don't think Dini is involved, as you mention, Rocksteady has returned to develop the third game. It's essentially a sequel to Arkham City and I'm thinking of it as the conclusion of a trilogy starting with Arkham Asylum.

Exactly what got me jazzed. Should be cool. Rocksteady made GREAT games.

Wonder if they bring back Kevin Conroy for this game instead of that guy who did the voice in Origins. I liked him, but he's no Conroy.
